Ohio State -155 4% play
I think the money line is the way to get after this game. First of all Notre Dame home game won’t be your typical as Ohio State fans travel well and their should be 20K+ Ohio State fans in the building for this one. Notre Dame is also the public dog play here and honestly they have faced a very weak schedule with an average opponent ypp differential of -2.36. Ohio State comes in at -1.7 so same boat, but for some reason Notre Dame is getting much more credit. I think the difference will be Notre Dame’s inability to run the ball here, and although I respect Sam Hartman a lot I don’t think he will be able to overcome it and he’s been known to make a mistake or two. The internal OL of Notre Dame is going to have issues here, and I think Ohio State’s defense has taken a lot of steps compared to recent years.
Ohio State’s offense is still a work in progress, but they have the best WR in the nation in Harrisson who is a major mismatch. Notre Dame was a 17 point under dog just a year ago and got outgained by 150 yards, and now they are a 3 point dog at home, which is a 14 line move, and Notre Dame does not have the luxury of preparing all summer for Ohio State like they did a year ago as it was their first game.s
